Amazing venue and team

The venue was amazing with so many awesome spots to take pictures. Our family and friends cannot stop talking about how beautiful the venue was as well as how amazing the coordinator is- Tricia Duffney! She was amazing and completely calmed all my nerves week of. It was such a great price point for all of the services we were given. We had our wedding on a Saturday, so we were able to drop everything off on that Friday. Tricia met with us on Friday and we were able to go over the whole set up with her and ask any questions. Tricia and her team took all of our decorations and set everything up for us on that Friday. It was better than I could have imagined. It was such a relief for us as we didn’t have to worry about it. She literally handled every detail and question during the whole planning process and on our big day! My husband and I were able to enjoy our day without having to worry about any details. She even packed up our cars at the end of our night so we could just enjoy with family and friends. Trisha was the biggest life savor and asset to us. We couldn’t be happier with how smoothly our big day went.

1000000/10; The most amazing venue!

I cannot even begin to describe how wonderful this venue is and how AMAZING the wedding planner is that comes with it. This venue is right in between Minneapolis and St. Paul but it feels like you are hours away from the city. We had exclusive access to the venue for the entire weekend so we were able to start decorating on Friday which is a huge help and they even take down the decorations and pack things up at the end of the night on Saturday so our family did not have to stay later to do that which was much appreciated!

Trish is a genuine angel. I was out of state and finishing school during the wedding planning process but she made sure that everything was how I wanted and was such a great communicator. Everything she recommended really added to our wedding. There was a point where it was around 15 days before the wedding and I had thought our booked caterer had fallen through and she assured me that if they had (thankfully they hadn't) she would find a way to get us amazing food that would be ready by the wedding. She also handles all of the little fires during the day of the wedding so my family could just enjoy the day. We ran out of moscato during the reception and Trish immediately went to get more for us. She would get anything we need (and even things we didn't know we needed!!) and was just so helpful. I had an absolutely amazing and stress free wedding planning process because of her expertise.

The venue itself is stunning. There are so many places to take beautiful photos and the barn was the perfect size for our 150 guest wedding. It easily could have fit more. We loved the outside aspect6 and thankfully we had a perfect weather day. The guests loved looking through the museums located on the property during the cocktail hour and we were able to get a tractor/hay ride which was an absolute hit.

I truly cannot say enough about this venue and Trish. She made my wedding day absolutely amazing and I will forever be thankful!

I have nothing bad to say about this venue! Everything was perfect! What sold me was talking to the event coordinator, Tricia. She was FANTASTIC. She was great from day one. Any time I had a question or concern, she immediately solved the problem. She and her staff were so great about getting things done (I mean EVERYTHING). From moving tables, to cleaning plates, fixing outlet problems, and attending to us and our parents, and to all the guests. The venue itself is beautiful! When you rent the venue, you get the whole property (the farm house, a few of the museums, the barn, and all the yard (which is huge). The bridal party can get ready in the farm house which is so fun! You also get the barn Friday and Saturday all day if there is no event on Friday. This was so helpful for setting up. I highly recommend this place for your wedding!! I had guests telling me how amazing it all was for weeks after the day!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
